BOSTON–The Philadelphia 76ers welcomed MVP Joel Embiid back to the lineup on Wednesday in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics looking to take a 2-0 lead with them back to the City of Brotherly Love.
That didn’t happen as Embiid had a tough time finding an offensive groove and the Sixers shot only 6-for-30 on triples in a 121-87 loss on the road. The big fella had 14 points on 4-for-9 shooting with three rebounds and he blocked five shots in his first action since April 20 against the Brooklyn Nets in Round 1.
After the loss, the Sixers gave their reaction to Embiid’s return and they discussed how he looked out on the floor.
